pdfxup
package.
Version number: 1.30
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Create n-up PDF pages with minimal margins
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pdfxup is a unix/linux shell script that creates a PDF
document where each page is obtained by combining several
pages of a PDF file given as output. The important feature
of pdfxup, compared to similar programs, is that it tries to
compute the (global) bounding box of the input PDF file, in
order to remove the margins and to keep the text only.
Instead of having the font size divided by 2 (for the case
of 2-up output), in some case you may end up with almost
the same font size as in the original document (as is the
case for a default 'article' document produced by LaTeX).
pdfxup uses ghostscript for computing the maximal bounding
box of (some of) the pages of the document, and then uses
pdflatex (with graphicx package) in order to produce the new
document.

Summary description: Draw continuous or discrete spectra using PGF/TikZ
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of this package is to draw the spectrum of elements
in a simple way. It is based on the package pst-spectra, with similar
options, but also adding some extra options.
It relies on PGF/TikZ to draw the desired spectrum, continuous
or discrete. As in pst-spectra, there are data available for the
spectra of 99 elements and their ions (from the NASA database).
It also allows the user to draw a spectrum with their own personal data.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The footnote package by Mark Wooding dates back to 1997 and has
not been made hyperref compatible. The aim of the present
package is to do that. It is barely tested and its state is what
I found sufficiently well-working on a current LaTeX document of
mine, I have not attempted any in-depth analysis of all possible
situations.
Some issues from footnote.sty made it incompatible with the
color and xcolor packages; this is corrected by footnotehyper.
Loading of hyperref is mandatory (either before or after) but
left to the user.
